Re: 1986 3207 swim platform load limit
It's probably only rated for 5 or 600 lbs, but I've had four full-size adults (>200lbs) and didn't have an issue on a similar boat.
At some point you have to elaborate on the "Miss Chelsea getting crushed at dock by rouge sailboat" !!!

thanks for the info KM1125.Just wanted to make sure my dingy wont over load with a person or two on the platform
The Miss Chelsea was split in half in her slip by a 42 ft sailboat ( the Shogun)in 2005. the 'Tuesday night racing league gents like to come back in the marina under full sail drop all the laundry at the last second and pull in their slips with no engines . The Shogun came in with a 15 mph wind and had its main sail jam, they could not fire engine up in time and in the owners' own words he headed for the" least expensive boat he could see" at about 6 knots he hit the Miss Chelsea dead midship. Took a floating crane and a tugboat to pull them apart and lift out the Miss C before she sank .
